Pumpkin Spice Spelt Biscuits

Biscuits definitely fall under comfort the food category. I have had a long love affair with them since childhood. Biscuits and sausage gravy was a favorite on Sunday mornings. Strawberry shortcake made with biscuits versus angel food cake are still considered the "real" thing.
I have been experiementing for awhile with baked goods and have had a lot of just okay results. I gave up dairy a couple of years ago and I miss having baked goods in my diet. Especially this time of year. I am also limiting the amount of wheat in my diet, so I am exploring this incredible world of flours that I previously never knew existed. Many of the recipes I have tried leave me wanting in either the taste or texture category. These turned out great. Even better is that they take no time to make and limited dishes and mess!
Ingredients List:
1 1/2 cups spelt flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teapoon pumpkin spice
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup coconut oil
1 cup cooked pumpkin
1/4 raw agave syrup
1/4 cup soy milk or hemp milk
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. I use a convection setting but a regular setting will do fine.
Mix your dry ingredients together. Add the coconut oil or Earth Balance and using a fork or a pastry mixer cut the oil into the flour until it is corase and crumbly. Add your wet ingredients and mix until just blended. Using a 1/4 measuring cup, scoop the dough out and place on a cookie sheet. Shape your biscuit by flattening the top down slightly.
Bake for 20 minutes or until the bottom begins to brown. Cool and serve with honey. Yum!!!!
